Reviews
[Director Kris Isacsson] tries to bring a little enterprise to the inevitable scenes of bickering and moody silence, but by now the vitalising tactics seem out of place.
The script, which simply doesn't work at all, and reduces the characters to lumpen, uninteresting blobs, despite the handsome cast.
Julia Stiles is fetching, but no surprises rain on the limpid parade of familiar post-adolescent love.
a mostly bitter, sometimes downright grim fairy tale in which Cinderella becomes a stoner and Prince Charming winds up getting his stomach pumped.
When the lovers finally do find a reason to fight, the film takes a turn into hand-wringing melodrama from which it never recovers.
Belongs to that other kind of American teen comedy... movies of crushes and wagers and sex jokes, with patchwork plots and a standby army of eccentric comic sidekicks.
Aimless and weird- like looking at a beautiful two dimensional picture postcard - but from the edge.
Cinta con severas deficiencias y falta de ingredientes, siendo el principal de ellos la falta de corazón
Delivers its cheesy toppings as predictably as the 30-minutes -or- it's-free pizza delivery guy.
Flees from anything that might involve real human emotion, or for that matter any credible human activity other than looking good.
In the great tradition of silly kids flicks -- the ones that are easier to dance to than get into.
Down to You is mildly worth watching for the performances if you don't get hung up on the cluttered plot.
